使徒行传 20:1 RCUVSS

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Acts 20:1-99

Acts 20 IN ACTS WE are simply told that Paul gave much exhortation to the saints in Macedonia, that he visited Greece, and that to avoid the persecuting Jews he returned through Macedonia on his way back to Asia. Verse Act_20:4 gives us the names of his travelling companions on this return journey, though they went ahead across the sea and waited for him at Troas. In verse Act_20:5 Luke again uses the pronoun “us,” which shows that at this point he again made one of the party. Paul, Luke and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 20:1-12

a Messenger of Truth and Life Acts 20:1-12 The Second Epistle to the Corinthians should be read with the introductory verses of this chapter, as it reveals the Apostle’s inner mind at this time. He seems to have been less impressed with the imminent peril from which he had been rescued, and more solicitous as to the condition of the church at Corinth, to which he had addressed his first Epistle during the early days of his Ephesian ministry. Into how small a compass, Acts 20:3 , the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 20:1-38

Restful and mastered by Christ, Paul was yet restless and resistless in devotion to the enterprise of his Lord. These facts are evident throughout this chapter. We follow him in rapid movements, always calm and confident. After tarrying in Greece for three months, he found that a plot was laid against his life and quickly passed overland. Detained in Troas, he ministered to the saints and strengthened their hearts. It was while here that Eutychus, overcome with sleep, fell to death, from... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1

Paul Purposes To Go To Jerusalem and Then To Rome. Satan Counterattacks at Ephesus (19:21-20:1). Paul’s purpose to go to Jerusalem in spite of warnings raises an interesting question. If the Spirit was giving him warnings, why did he proceed? In answering this question we need to recognise that part of Luke’s purpose here may well be in order to give encouragement to those facing persecution by stressing Paul’s steadfastness of purpose in the face of known adversity. The section commences in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-6

Paul’s Visits To Macedonia and Greece And Seven Days in Troas (20:1-6). It is indicative of Luke’s concentration on the new direction in which events have turned, and his purpose in writing what follows, that he ignores many things of which we would wish to have been apprised. We are reminded again that Acts is not ‘a life of Paul’. His main concern is now to demonstrate that God will so work events that having been faced with false royal rule at Ephesus the Kingly Rule of God will triumph in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-38

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-6

Acts 20:1-Joshua : . To Greece; Return to Troas.— The journey sketched in Acts 19:21, 1 Corinthians 16:5-1 Samuel :, is entered on; for what happened at Troas and in Macedonia on the way cf. 2 Corinthians 2:12 f., 2 Corinthians 7:5; but of all that intense experience there is little echo in Acts. The sketches of the journey did not fix what route was to be followed from Greece to Jerusalem; here ( 3 ) we find that the intention was to go by sea. The plan is changed on account of a Jewish... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Acts 20:1

Embraced them; took his farewell of them, and, as the manner of those countries was in meeting and parting with friends, he kissed them: as Luke 7:45, and far more anciently, Genesis 31:55. And this was the true ground of that kiss of peace, or the holy kiss, recommended Romans 16:16; 1 Corinthians 16:20; 2 Corinthians 13:12, and elsewhere, which was only a civility then in use. Departed for to go into Macedonia; yielding to the present fury of Demetrius; not so much for his own safety, as for... read more
